GOLD/XAUUSD Aiming for New Highs?

236
While the US and BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) aren’t in a formal trade war, tensions are rising. BRICS nations are working to reduce reliance on the US dollar, challenging its dominance in global trade. This “de-dollarization” effort and geopolitical shifts, like sanctions on Russia and US-China disputes, are fueling uncertainty. The USD surged by over 7.1% and was the only currency to see a positive growth in 2024.

What This Means for Gold?
Gold thrives during uncertainty. As BRICS push for alternatives to the dollar and tensions with the US escalate, demand for gold could rise:

Hedge Against Currency Risks: If BRICS reduce dollar usage, the dollar might weaken, boosting gold’s appeal.
Geopolitical Tensions: Gold is a safe-haven asset investors flock to during economic instability.

Global economic shifts are driving gold’s narrative. Trade wisely!

Good job to all of you that got involved.

Will post further ideas on how we can enter and catch more trades on the way up so keep an eye out for that.
Note
This trade is still pushing up and is currently over 14000 pips since posting. I've removed a further 30% and have a final 20% left to run, ultimately we will need to close this as well but not until we see a clear reversal, there is no historic data to make any assumptions, we will have to pay attention to fundamentals.
